00:00 Angela Aguilar, here at "Premio Lo Nuestro"

00:03 Tell us, it's your first time that Yuridia is going to sing here at these awards

00:07 and it's the success that you have, what agony!

00:10 Did you think that this song was going to have the impact that it had when you were recording it?

00:15 Not at all, I never thought we were going to have this

00:19 I had a lot of desire that it would go well because I was the one who composed it

00:25 with my dad and some friends

00:26 So for me it was like, I hope she likes it, I hope it works

00:31 and it became like this anthem for the heartbreak, for this new generation

00:35 with Maria, two women, there's nothing that I don't like

00:38 And the truth is, we haven't been able to catch up with you or Becky G

00:43 but how did the remix, the collaboration of the song go?

00:46 I love her so much, I mean, what do you want, English or Spanish?

00:49 Spanglish

00:51 Ok, so to be able to work with her was an honor

00:54 I really really really admire her as a woman, as an entertainer, as a person in general

00:59 I think it's beautiful to have someone as a representative for this Latin, bilingual, culturally involved human being

01:09 And more than anything, this song, which is about heartbreak, which is different

01:12 She has never recorded a song like this and that it's going so well

01:15 This is something that surprised a lot of people because obviously it's not the song that's hitting right now

01:21 but I think the lyrics are worth it, the song is worth it and the intentions as well

01:28 This song had been in the making for many years

01:31 My brother had been with this song for a long time, with her

01:35 and I loved that they were part of it

01:37 I want to ask you, because next month is Women's History Month

01:40 and we're asking all the girls, what is that song that makes you feel powerful?

01:46 Something that always gets you in a good mood, like when you just want to be, you know, kind of like feel good

01:51 I think that, if I want to feel like, I mean, empowered, it's The Man by Taylor Swift

01:58 And if I want to feel more powerful, like for a show or something like that

02:04 it's Gloria Trevi's "Y me solté el cabello, me vestí de reina"

02:09 I love that
